Benefits of a common synchronization protocol
End users	Today’s user of mobile devices probably uses a different
	synchronization product with every device. Each technology can
	synchronize only a few applications, or is limited to a particular type
	of network connection. This arrangement is expensive to install,
	confusing to configure and
	operate, and costly to administer. With SyncML, users will be able
	to buy devices that synchronize with a broader range of data.
Device manufacturers	Device manufacturers will benefit from a common protocol that will
	make the device interoperable with a broader range of applications,
	services, and network and transmission technologies
Service providers	Service providers moving into the growth arena of application
	hosting are particularly concerned that a proliferation of
	synchronization technologies will make it impossible to deploy and
	support their customers in a cost-effective manner. To support the
	range of data types and devices in use today, service providers
	must install and configure multiple server infrastructures, maintain
	and support that infrastructure, and maintain compatibility and
	performance. The alternative now available, to use a single solution
	for data connectivity, involves the risk of a tight coupling to a
	propriety solution. With SyncML, they will be able to provide
	connectivity to a wider selection of applications.
Application developers	Choosing to support multiple synchronization technologies enables
	an application to support more types of devices and networked
	data, but that choice comes at a cost. With SyncML, application
	developers will be able to develop an application that can connect
	to a more diverse set of devices and network data.
Network operators	As multiple applications that need remote synchronization over
	WAP are developed, there will be an automatic growth of revenue
	for network operators.

Which information can be synchronized?

The P800 supports synchronisation of the following data types:

Application	Remote	Local
Contacts	9	9
Calendar	9	9
Tasks	9	9
Jotter (notes)		9
E-Mail	**	9

** Note that E-Mail can of course be fetched remotely using the Messaging application.
